9 Kids and Counting

While Jen and Matt went to New York, we watched their 5 kids for 4 days. Making 9 crazy kids total! Heaven help us! Luckily, it went amazingly well and the kids had a blast with their cousins! 

 Smiles with daddy

 Her hair is AMAZING!

 All of the kids wore themselves out playing hard today

 He likes chocolate. Can you tell?

 Nap time for Casey bugs! Luckily, he stayed a sleep while I transferred him to his bed. 

 Such a cute bunch of boys. Before we know it, they are going to be big monsterous teenagers!

 The babies:)

 We love the Roper kids so much and had such a great time with them:)

 Reidy Roo loves his new little toy. He especially loves to bat at the bee.

 Sunday best

 This pic was from a couple weeks ago, but I needed a pic of Jen with Reidy. I forgot to take a pic of the two of them when she visited us in the hospital.

 I also didn't get a hospital of Sam and Emily and Reid. Better late than never!

The Many Faces of Reidy Roo

Reid is trying to cope with the fact that he is part of this crazy bunch for eternity!

Happy 6 Weeks!

The past 6 weeks have flown by! The craziness of having 4 little boys (under the age of 6) has been a whirlwind and I still can't quite figure out which way is up! We're starting to get our bearings, but this may take a while to feel "normal" again. What's funny is that Reid is such a DREAM BABY! He is by FAR our easiest child right now! Thank goodness because we would really be in for it! Most people have said that having 3 was the hardest for them and anymore after that was easy. We are pretty much opposite of that theory, but it has only been 6 weeks so I'll let you know;) 

Reid truly is the sweetest most easy going baby! Dane has been acting out the most since Reid's arrival. He keeps trying to hurt Reid at every opportunity with hard squeezes, jolts, etc. Side note: Dane is getting major extra attention from us while he is trying to adjust. Nevertheless, Reid is so patient with Dane and all of the boy's pokes and prods. I think Reid likes Dane the most even though he is constantly tormenting him! Reid just started smiling more often and even laughing out loud (first time was 9/12/13 with daddy) and he seems to do this the most when Dane is up in his face. I guess Reid is just keeping his friends close and his enemies closer;)

His sweetness melts my heart! We are all adoring him! Even though the past 6 weeks have been crazy to say the least, they have also been amazing! I love the newborn stage and all of the "firsts" he experiences. I am sad that it is already time to go back to work. I hate missing out on any time with my boys. I do still enjoy working and mainly do it to keep up on my pharmacy knowledge and the health insurance for me and the boys is a wonderful perk! It just gets hard to go back after such a long break. However, I only work one day (Monday) a week for 12 hours so, I think I will survive. I'm actually more worried about Benny surviving Mondays at home with the boys!

Enjoying the Monsoon Season

We LOVE monsoon season in AZ! The rain is much needed and much welcomed. The kids LOVE to play in it. So I say, let the kids be crazy kids!

 It is about 80 degrees out there. Soooo nice compared to the usual 100 + right now!

Reid's First Time Going to Church

 We look a little tired and a little nervous for Sacrament meeting with 4 crazy hooligans! But, it surprisingly went well and we are starting to get the hang of our new balancing act more and more each day...for the most part;) 

 Such a cutie pie and good boy! He is the easiest one right now by far;)

Logan's 1st Grade Picture & Fall Soccer Season

That is one cute 1st Grader if I say so myself:) The photographer buttoned his top button and Log is smiling a bit funny, but he still looks darling!

 Logan is still playing with his same team and coaches. He LOVES it and everyone on his team loves him! He is always so excited to play and continues to improve each and every season.

 Reid's first soccer game experience:)

 More Saturday bike riding. The boys LOVE to play outside and it is starting to cool down a bit...yay!

Daners Can Ride A Bike!

 No training wheels here! He actually skipped training wheels all together! He has been practicing on his glider bike (pedal-less bike) for sometime and was ready to take the plunge!!!

 Our silly little Daners was so proud of himself and we were so proud too!

 Way to go bud! Pretty impressive at only 4 years old! We love you so much!
